The use of embedded microprocessors has been surveyed for many commercial and military aircraft, including several that are still under development. Results are presented which describe current processing implementations in 8-bit microprocessors, 16-bit microprocessors, and minicomputers. It was found that most existing applications can be implemented with a monolithic 8-bit microprocessor that has 4K of ROM and 512 bytes of RAM. More recent applications frequently use 16-bit processors and a larger memory. Design considerations that affect microprocessor choices for new systems are discussed. Arguments are made for standardization on a 16-bit microprocessor for many avionic applications.
